“We just can’t do some-thing like this and leave itblank, that’s not goodbusiness,” he said.
Fire Chief FloydShotwell said he didn’thave a problem with theWi-Fi, but was concernedit would interfere withemergency communica-tions.
This was highlightedwith the board’s approvalof purchasing new defibril-lators, which may requireadditional technology onthe tower.
“I don’t want them tak-ing up space that we’vegot to have, that’s all,” saidShotwell.
Tignanelli said if AirAdvantage wishes toaccess the tower after theinstallation, it must firstgain permission from thesupervisor, buildinginspector and fire chief.
Treasurer DeborahObrecht said a portion ofthe contract that statedHenry Ford Urgent Carewould provide a site forWi-Fi was removed.
“Jim thought thatmight be a bit too hard toregulate and work with,”she said. “I will still try tosee if Henry Ford might bewilling to do something
like that just on a commu-nity service basis.”
The new contract stipu-lates Air Advantage willpay $100 a month to leasethe space as opposed tothe maximum of $300.
Obrecht said if the com-pany tries to subleasespace on the tower, thedeal is automatically ter-minated.
Air Advantage’s servicewould cost residentsbetween $38 to $68 amonth depending on what
connection speed theydesire, with the lowestreported at 10 times fasterthan dial-up connections.
Tignanelli warned theservice may not work aswell as some people hope,as it depends on antennasreceiving a signal from thetownship tower.
“I’m hopeful that youget what you’re expectingfrom this tower,” he said.“To be quite honest withyou, I’m skeptical, but Ihope I’m wrong.”

SEMCO ENERGY ASKS CUSTOMERS TO KEEP METERS
CLEAR OF SNOW AND ICESEMCO ENERGY GAS COMPANY is asking customers
to avoid piling snow and ice on gas meters when clearing sidewalks and driveways.
Heavy buildups of snow and ice on meters and pipes can cause stress that may lead to gas leaks.
Additionally, built-up snow and ice can hinder quick access to a shut-off valve in an emergency.
Also, as a safety precaution, carefully clear icicles and other large amounts of ice from roofs and
around gas meters, being careful not to damage Gas Company equipment. Falling ice, just like heavy
ice buildups on meters and pipes, also can cause stress that may lead to gas leaks.
